OHIO TEA PARTY LEADER CALLS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP TO ENFORCE THE LAW AND PROTECT AMERICANS

Akron, OH – Today, Tom Zawistowski, President of the TEA Party Affiliated We the People Convention, called on President Trump to use the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and other government agencies, to enforce the law and protect all American citizens from the criminal acts being committed by political groups and individuals who are trying to silence speech in our nation and persecute individuals for their political positions. Zawistowski contends that the recent attack on high school students from Covington Catholic High School is a tipping point that requires the President to act by demanding that federal agencies do their job and protect the rights of all Americans.

Zawistowski said, “Mr. President, when do We the People get ‘equal justice’ and ‘equal protection’ under the law?? When is ANYONE who makes a death threat, like against the teenagers from Covington Catholic, going to be publicly identified, arrested and prosecuted? When is ANYONE who makes a bomb threat, like the ones made against Covington Catholic School, going to be publicly identified, arrested and charged??? When is your DOJ going to reverse the anti-constitutional and illegal position of the Holder/Lynch/Obama administration and return to the historic position of ‘equal justice for all’ where white Americans are not ‘fair game’ for rampant overt racial discrimination; vicious personal, verbal and physical attacks based solely on the color of their skin; and bullying and intimidation by radical race-based political groups like we saw this weekend in D.C. and are threatening Covington Catholic school today?”

Zawistowski continued, ” We have hate crime laws, we have anti-bullying laws, why are they only used to protect select groups of American citizens? When are Twitter and Facebook and Instagram going to be held accountable by the FTC for allowing only certain citizens to be viciously attacked and threatened online, their homes and family members illegally exposed, and their lives and businesses destroyed by political bullies, Mr. President?? When is your FBI going to investigate the Tweets, Facebook posts and on air comments of media members, many of which are being deleted today, who threatened physical violence against members of the general public, like the teenagers from Covington Catholic, going to be charged for doing so?”

Zawistowski concluded, “We in the Midwest will never stand for being treated as second class citizens. We expect equal justice, we are entitled by the Constitution to equal justice, and we demand that people be prosecuted for their criminal actions just as we would be. That is not happening, Mr. President, and we are fed up with the lack of consequences for everyone but those who are conservative. It is the job of your administration to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the right contained therein for ALL Americans. Talk is cheap, Mr. President, and while many of us see your tweets as a useful tool to fight through the fake news bias and reach regular Americans, we demand action against those who commit crimes. We demand it now! It is against everything we believe as Americans to allow the lives of young students to be destroyed, via a political and subsequent media ambush, simply because they went on a bus trip to our nations capital and wore hats that express a certain political position. Who will defend them with more than words Mr. President? Who will defend the innocent by enforcing the law if not the President of the United States?”
